Ethereum Classic Trading Volume Up<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Since the SEC’s approval of the Grayscale Bitcoin ETF on January 10th, Ethereum Classic has skyrocketed by a staggering 30%, currently maintaining a trading value around $26. This meteoric rise has been accompanied by a remarkable 270% increase in trading volume, soaring to a substantial $1.8 billion.<\/p>\n

Such robust figures underscore a palpable surge in investor confidence, suggesting the potential for further gains in the near future.<\/p>\n

While Bitcoin itself witnessed a modest price increase, briefly touching $47,000, Ethereum stole the limelight by breaking a 20-month barrier and surpassing $2,600.<\/p>\n

Ethereum Classic currently trading at $26.36 on the daily chart: TradingView.com<\/a><\/pre>\n
This remarkable 10% surge within a mere 24 hours has positioned Ethereum at its highest value since May 2022. Analysts attribute this impressive performance to Ethereum’s robust underlying technology and recent network upgrades, cementing its status as a favorable option for investors after Bitcoin.<\/p>\n
The approval of the Bitcoin spot ETF<\/a> is not the sole catalyst for this altcoin rally; the much-anticipated Bitcoin halving event, scheduled for later in the year, is also playing a pivotal role in bolstering bullish sentiment.<\/p>\n
